Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes today means a lifetime of insulin injections – as of yet, we don't have a simple one-time fix on hand.
"A type of apoptosis occurs when a molecule called FasL interacts with another molecule called Fas on rogue immune cells, and it causes them to die,""Therefore, our team pioneered a technology that enabled the production of a novel form of FasL and its presentation on transplanted pancreatic islet cells or microgels to prevent being rejected by rogue cells.
This is not the only change from a traditional transplant. Instead of transplanting the cells to the liver , the researchers formed a small pouch in the omentum, a large flat layer of fat tissue just below the stomach. Four of the monkeys received the FasL microgels, while three controls received microgels with no FasL. The researchers then gave the monkeys just one anti-rejection drug called rapamycin for three months after the transplant surgery.
